Personal:

I have been married for almost 20 years.... Dave is the only man that I think that was placed specifically on this earth to tolerate my crazy ways.

I have 2 boys - ages 9 yrs. and 18 yrs. old (senior in high schoold and known on this blog as "Ironman"- they are fabulous kids - I am very blessed!!!

I am an RN and have been for around 12 years.

I lift weights regularly and work abs 2-3 days a week.  I enjoy the beach, like to sing, and love to run!!!

Quit smoking about 4 years ago and couldn't run 1/4 way around a track when I began... started with elliptical and then got into running more seriously.  Cranked up the mileage and intensity when I began training for my first 1/2 marathon.  The rest is history.... or history in the making!?

short 6 mile bike on my new tri-bike... then 6 mile slogger on the mill at the gym.  I am exhausted this week, but I have been training hard. I haven't been taking mileage credit for all the biking I've been doing and cross-training so the work isn't reflected in my over all mileage.  I am hoping this helps keep my endurance up, helps add some base training as my legs seem to not fair well with high mileage running weeks.
